Well, it‘s a tragedy. So this isn‘t going to end well.

I thought that it, somehow, wasn‘t in the tagged book because for whatever reason I thought it was a comedy. I‘m hoping this nice overview helps clear up some things for me.

Graywacke Thinking the story is a tragedy and the play is making/having fun with the tragedy... which makes it what? 5y
GingerAntics @Graywacke well, a Shakespearean comedy isn‘t a comedy in the funny sense, it just means none of the main characters die. So the comedies aren‘t necessarily meant to be funny. Some of them are, but some of them aren‘t. This play feels like an absolute hot mess. 5y
Graywacke @GingerAntics right, to all that. But he mixed stuff up too. Exit chased by bear became pretty gruesome humor. 5y
GingerAntics @Graywacke fair point...this play is still an absolute hot mess. 5y
